I’ve always told my managers that I won’t move from PA because my family is here, but increasingly I’ve been wondering if I can get a transfer to TX (assuming there’s work for me there).
You really ought to read up on the health of the Texas economy. It's the best in the nation, and Texas is the number one destination of choice for companies who are looking to relocate their operations.
If you have any sort of professional skill, you can find work here.
